FAA COLORS
Extra Dark Sea Grey: To 50 parts of XF24 (dark grey), add 6 parts XF2 (white), a
nd 3 parts XF8 (flat blue).
Dark Slate Grey: To one bottle of XF22 (RLM Grey), add 35 drops of XF7 (red), an
d 125 drops of XF1 (flat black).
or
T:XF-11 + 63?
"RLM Grey" (XF-22) is a good match for "Slate Grey", used for RAF Coastal Comman
d finishes, as well as Fleet Air Arm colors.
"Dark Sea Grey" (XF-54) is a good match for "Dark Sea Grey," used for Coastal Co
mmand and FAA camouflages. This is also good for the US "Equivalent Color" for "
Ocean Grey" ANA 603, used on Mustang IIIs, etc.
'"RLM Gray" (XF-22) for "Slate Grey"
Light Sea Grey
"Sky" (XF-21) - I think this is the most accurate version of this color.
"Sky Grey" (XF-19) is perfect for the "Sky Grey" color used on FAA aircraft befo
re they went with the "Sky" lower surfaces, also for the US "Equivalent Color" u
sed for ANA 602
"Medium Grey" (XF-20) is good as "Sea Grey Medium," the lower surface camouflage
for RAF aircraft after 1941.
Here are Tamiya mixes to reproduce some Federal Standards (FS) Colors.
Last updated: 2012-08-11
The hyperlink included with the colors sends you to the Federal Standard 595 Col
or Server website to give you an idea of how the colors look.
The mix ratios are by parts, i.e. XF2:1 means XF2 Flat White 1 part (1 drop or 1
gallon, the mix stays the same)
Warning: Several mixes I've tested myself (those with an *) but most of them com
e from Tamiya instructions, articles found in magazines and the web. I find them
good but these are in no way definitive. They serve as a general guide that you
can modify to taste.
Scale effect: for those who believe, the smaller the scale, the lighter the colo
rs. Thes mixes are formulated for 1/32 but you can add XF2:1 for 1/48 or XF2:2 f
or 1/72 as a start. Lighten to taste.
